The postponed races Of Thursday were
run of yesterday at Ivy City before some
1900 spectators, and although the contests
were not marked by any special features
still they were interesting. The weather
was very cold, and even the warmest wraps
were not proof against the stiff breeze that
swept through the grand stand and quarter
stretch. The betting quarters were crowded
with Spectators who were eager to tackle
Dame Fortune. The track was slow and
deep In mud, and, as rule, the public got
the best Of the bookmakers, who were In
several races badly crippled. The winners
Of the day were King Idle, Valiant, Bess,
Young Duke, and John Henry.
DETAILS OF THE RACES.
The first race for six furlongs saw seven
starters dispatched without delay to good
send of. Sight Unseen was first to take
the track, with Vance second, and Allen
town third. When the half mile was
reached King Idle went to the front by
length, followed closely by Vance, and the
rest half length behind. Well into the
stretch the racers became punched, King
Idle, however, showing three parts OF
length to bis opponents. Coming by the fur
long pole Mary T made desperate endeavor
to overtake King Idle, but the burst Of speed
put on by the FLY was futile, as King Idle
won tho race by half a length from Mary
second, the Vixen colt third. Time. 1:2lf.
Mutuels paid $s.
AN OUTSIDER WINS THE SEC Nd RACE.
or the nine horses started In the second
race Pasha was thought to be the best, while
Harvard and Maia ranked second in popular
estimation. Valiant was not considered In
1t at all, but, as usual, old Bill DAILY created
surprise and hauled of the pot In the
easiest manner with his black colt. Valiant
could be had in the books at all times at
odds OF 10 to 1,while the best offered against
the favorite--Pasha-was 3 to 8 on. There
was long and tiresome delay at the post, but
finally the racers were sent on their Journey
to a moderate start, with Pasha and Per-
icles leading, Boughton being thlrd, and the
others punched. At the stand there was no
percepttble change, but when well past the
half mile pole Valiant went to the front,
and then the race was all over, US Valiant
won in the easiest possible manner, without
urging, with Pasha second aud Pericles
third. Time, 1:52. Mutuels paid $49.40.
DEss WINS RACE AT LAST.
Only four horses came to the post for the
money offered In the third race, and of the
lot Royal Arch and Bess were considered
the best. Frank Ward was played con.
siderably for the place, while Florence NJ
was backed to some extent by the fol-
lay at the post, and the horses were sent
of with Florence NJ first by three good
lengths and Royal Arch second, Frank
Ward third and Bess last. Nearing the
quarter pole Bess moved up to the front,
and 100 yards past that point was leading
by two lengths, with Royal Arch second,
Frank Ward third, and Florence NJ dozen
changed until we'll into the stretch, when
Frank Ward passed Royal Arch and closed
up on Bess. These two had 1t hot and
heavy down by the pool lawn, both riders
whipping furiously. For brief moment
1t looked like Frank Ward would win, but
Bess had the most endurance and passed
under the wire winner by half length
and Florence M last. Time, 1:4Sa. Mu-
tuels paid $l5.
YOUNG DUKE WINS THE FOURTH RACE.
In the fourth race only three horses
started, Of which Young Duke had the call
as favorite and King Crab as second choice.
| The start was fair and prompt, Joe Lee
leading until past the head OF the stretch
when Young Duke went to the front and
won without effort by two lengths from
Joe Lee, who was six lengths ahead Of
King Crab. Time, 1:35t. Mutuels paid
$50.
THE FAvoRITE WINS THE LAST RACE.
John Henry was made the favorite In the
hurdle race, while The Bourbon aud Well
Willie Palmer was backed as an outside
chance. Ell Mahdi was not considered at
all. When the flag fell, which was after
considerable delay, Willie Palmer lead the
way over the first and second jumps, fol-
lowed closely by John Henry and The
Bourbon. At the third hurdle Wellington
showed h ,sa,d In front, but quickly gave way to to
had no trouble in keeping In front during
the remainder OF the journey, and finally
won by three lengths, Willie Palmer being
second, and Wellington third. Time, 2:02!.
Mutue!s paid 5000.
